I know a guy that pawned a bunch of Snap On tools he still owed money on. The Snap On guy was fairly furious about it but couldn’t really do...
I spent north of $30,000 on SnapOn tools. The top technician there had a Craftsman toolbox and almost all Craftsman or other cheap brand tools. He...
I run the northeast and yes I tarp quite a bit. It does suck, but not as much as pulling a Conestoga. We have a couple of them. I had to open one...
I think you’re right. That and the fact a dealer has a much higher hourly rate. The one I worked at 17 years ago was over $100 an hour. By now I...
I recently started driving a truck with a driver facing camera. I never thought I would, but honestly it’s already been good. I hit a deer and it...
Ya I have a couple guys that like to call me just to gab. I’m just not into it. I get tired of hearing about the same old problems and same old...
I would sure tell you to go for it. Trucking has been good to me for quite a few years now. Even if your first year or two your options aren’t...
I did mechanic work at a Toyota dealer which I consider to be one of the best and probably easiest to work on. Those mechanics all work on...
Ya I guess I should have said I at least don’t have to. Haul all building materials tho that gets loaded and unloaded with forklift.

He’s either married or about to marry a younger woman from Fox. She wasn’t moving from New York so he maybe decided he doesn’t need it. Update:...
I think it was a smart move. Most anyone who suddenly has a bunch of money would of course want to invest it. But they’d go buy the big nice house...
Pulling flatbed you don’t have to back up very much. There’s never any docks to bump. Just circle around and leave.
Best lunch counter story I heard was a driver had a car messing with him in the middle of the night. Kept passing and slowing down again. Finally...
Most all of this stuff if you think about it is to phase out the owner operator and small fleet guys. Almost none of these things affect the mega...
Ya that’s right!! Actually I’ve never hauled a coil in my life yet so don’t get my opinion on them.
I don’t ever pass a plow on a two lane, but here it’s very common to pass them on interstate. Especially when they’re plowing the hammer lane they...
Ya common sense goes a long way. When I started flatbed I got about 3 days training before I went on my own. We haul all sorts of different...
Idk. Everyone has different ideas on this. I started out with very little money in the bank and it worked for years. I was running local tho, and...
I think they would be a fairly good company. They have nice equipment at least.
